Hello from COB Basra, Iraq

Hello everyone. Long time lurker, but as I get closer to going home, I've been gassing like crazy for a Tele, and figured that I'd probably find many kindred spirits, or at least cool people to chat with, here.

My Deployment rig is: Epiphone LP-100, Pignose Original 7-100, Line 6 Pocket Pod and a Boss MicroBR 4-track recorder.

I think when I get home in a few months I'm gonna attack a parts-caster build on an ash bodied, big headstock tele with a tele bridge, single in the middle and a PAF flavored HB in the neck. I'm looking at a routed Warmoth Body and Vintage Modern one-peice maple neck....Is a three pickup Tele too much for a first time build?

I can solder and read a wiring diagram...?

Hello mate,

Welcome to the TDPRI - it's great to have you here.

Three pickups too much for a first build...?? Noooooo, not at all. Get in there and have a go I say!!

Oh, and please, PLEASE keep your head down and get your a$$ back home in one piece OK???? I mean it!!!

Welcome ss.

"Is a three pickup Tele too much for a first time build?" - naw - what's one more pup?

Hi supersoldier71,
Welcome to TDPRI, more important,
THANK YOU!
Get back safe, looking forward to seeing how the build goes.
Steve

Thanks, supersoldier71, for what you're doing and as others have said, be safe.

Beware of building a partscaster Tele, there's no such thing as one.

Welcome to TDPRI. Thanks for your service, you are part of one thenth of one percent and the rest of us owe you a big debt. I hope we pay it back to you. Get home safe.

Welcome to TDPRI !!

Enjoy the forum.....:lol:

Stay safe, dude!....:cool:

Sounds like an interesting build to me. There isn't any task that the American Soldier can't handle.

What's Basra like these days? Last time I was there was 91.

Be safe, Hoo-Ahh!
